This is a follow-up to #2100. Don't pause/unpause the audio if we are moving from/to the Control Config or HUD Config screens. We could hit F2 and move around a bit before resuming the game, so we don't want the audio to resume until we're ready.
This adds full modular table support to mainhall.tbl, allowing subsequent tables to override previous main halls, and enabling use of the +nocreate option.
Several things going on here:
1) refactor `get_display_string()` to `get_display_name()` to be more precise
2) likewise, refactor `alt_name` to `display_name`
3) automatically generate display names when parsing the ship, ship class, and weapon class for the first time
4) remove the on-the-fly truncation of names with hash symbols
Basically this subsumes the `end_string_at_first_hash_symbol` logic into the display name. Rather than truncate the name every time it's displayed, truncate it once when it's parsed. This takes advantage of the previous display name infrastructure, since display names are a superset of the case of truncating the hash symbol.
This also has the benefit of now allowing hash symbols within display names. When updating Destiny of Peace, I noticed that "Lockheed Shuttle #4" would no longer display properly; and it was not previously possible to fix this even with display names.
I could pull out the `get_display_string()` and `alt_name` renaming into a separate PR if desired.
Leaving the ability to go onto the multi screens will cause undesired behavior and asserts. (like trying to validate the tables when there is no connection in the first place.) Also only sets the game state to multi once we're sure that we're going to enter a multi game.
1) Upgrade the pilot file code to correctly save flags whether entries are added *or* removed
2) Make the tech-db/tech-db-multi ship flag handling consistent
3) Add scripting support for intel entries
4) Add scripting support for adding and removing entries from the tech room
5) Minor cleanup
The cause of the #2512 bug was using the new main hall to look up sounds from the old main hall, which would crash in several cases. The lookup was performed when testing whether or not to truncate a door sound when changing screens or states. Dan Wentz requested that "glowy" sounds not be truncated, so this preserves that check. Rather than test the indexes of the door regions, this tests the indexes of the sounds in sounds.tbl.
Right now the retail sound indexes are hard-coded, but it would be easy to make this configurable from mainhall.tbl if modders wanted that ability.
This fixes#2512.
As noticed in issue #2458, intercom sounds did not stop when pausing the game or loading a mission. I fixed this by augmenting `main_hall_stop_ambient()` to also stop the intercom.
Additionally, it turns out that the intercom delays were not being calculated correctly due to a very bizarre random number formula. I overloaded `rand32()` to add a min/max variant and used this instead.
This makes the necessary campaign room API available to the scripting
API so that it can be implemented using libRocket. Also adds an
engine.sleep function which I needed for making my Lua debugger work
reliably.
If you press a key such as Ctrl the code gets a bitfield with a high bit
set so when the key code is used as an index it produces an out of range
error.

This is a minor follow-up to PR #2390. There are a few minor differences between untranslated strings and the internal strings in strings.tbl; this PR fixes them.
Certain mods provide their own tstrings.tbl, but this runs into trouble when you localize data meant for one mod using a tstrings.tbl meant for another mod. See the Mantis ticket:
http://scp.indiegames.us/mantis/view.php?id=2942
and also the HLP post:
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=85041.msg1716600#msg1716600
This PR adds an optional flag that will check the untranslated string against the "default language" translated string. The two strings should be identical. If they aren't, the code assumes there is a tstrings.tbl mismatch.
I modified the mission listing code to enable this check when localizing mission info (titles and descriptions), and to avoid adding the mission to the list if there is a mismatch. Fortunately, I think mission listing is the only place where this bug is likely to happen.
The largest new feature is that it is now possible to include other
files into the RML by using the "include" tag. This is useful for making
markup files more modular.
Also added some more options for existing things (e.g. built-in detail
options).
This is a follow-up to #1450, based on feedback and preference. Instead of always resetting campaign progress, just switch to the campaign. The player can then explore the tech room database or the finished missions if he chooses.
This also fixes a few bugs:
1) Ever since the tech-database-reset feature was introduced in 2003 or so, the game incorrectly checked the campaign being unselected, not the campaign being selected. This is now obsolete since neither the tech database nor the campaign progress are reset.
2) Not all campaign loading failure types were recorded in `mission_load_campaign`.
This commit adds new id for existing strings, so that they are translateable through the strings.tbl.
The following is translateable now:
- The 'or' seperator in the Keypress Directive gauge, if one function is bound to two keys.
- The Supernova warning.
- The error message that is displayed prior the pilot selection screen, if something is wrong with the loaded modification.
This is a system for storing arbitrary data in the config file and then
easily retrieving it later on. This has full Lua support for exposing
the available options in a custom UI and changing the values of the
options. This ported some of the existing command line options over to
the new system which is opt-in for the moment by using a mod_table flag.
